Question: I have chest pains and i am light headed, & it hurts to breathe. whats wrong with me?
Answers:
Chest pains are caused by pinched muscles in the back which send the pains around the body on the nerves to become pains in the rib, chest or heart areas. When you breath and your ribs expand they press into the same muscles which puts them into more pain. To get rid of these problems you have to free up your back muscles and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
Being light headed is caused by tight neck muscles for they restrict everything going in and out of your head, including the blood. When there is a reduced blood flow to the brain you will have a lowered oxygen level there as well. You will know when the oxygen level has dropped when you feel very tired. If the level drops more you will get dizzy, light headed, and more you will pass out. To get rid of this problem you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about one minute, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds. For both- for best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest seeing a GP sharpish. Any chest pains combined with the inability to breathe properly would certainley warrant a visit to the local A&E, or atleast your Docs. Get well soon
